Hi together, have the problem with my XC70 that a bicycle trailer (my) should be transported. Since I have a broken / non-functional roof truck anyway, a new purchase is possible. Here my problem (see picture) – where to go with the bicycle trailer? Back to the AHK maybe …

Hello, We are a family of 6 and need a new car. Driving a 2005 Chrysler Voyager. I have a test drive on Friday with an XC90 EZ 10/2011. Are there things I should pay attention to. The car has run 218,000km is a 2.4 D with automatic and AWD. Here’s a link to the listing: https://m.mobile.de/…/324455132.html?…

Hello to the round of the so-called Volvo drivers, can someone please tell me if the lettering “CROSS COUNTRY” on the tailgate consists of single letters or a sticker tape that goes over the entire tailgate and where the letters are only “printed” ??? Perhaps there were even different versions by year of construction etc. ???? Thank you very much for the help! LG Andy

Hello guys, I have a problem with my elk. Volvo S60 2.4T, built in 11/2000 180000km. chipped Was already in a vetrags workshop and one open, was sent away with the statement “sorry we can’t find a mistake”. Now I hope for your help. To the problem, with warmer outside them repairs I have especially from the 3rd gear a strong power loss this occurs almost jerky. If I drive the Volvo only with half-gas I have no problem, however, I push through the accelerator is end in the shaft and it really slows down, from the moment on the power loss also remains. Sprit consumption is at approx. 11L, error memory is empty. Swap was until now: Charge control valve, an suction tube, loading sensor and themparatur sensor, ignition plugs, an ignition coil and petrol filter. According to Volvo was at 90000km the throttle and the LMM exchanged. Besides, I did not like the oil lock up at the stand, but I did not need the water pump at me.

Hello, I know that there are already many posts on the topic of purchase advice V70 and have already read many interesting and extremely informative posts in the forum but I would like to ask for your opinion for the following model that I am looking at tomorrow: http://ww3.autoscout24.at/classified/270610792?pr=0&fromparkdeck=1 It is a V70 D5 AWD automatic, first registration 3/2005, diesel, 163 hp with a mileage of 163000. The selling price is € 6900 after a telephone call with the seller he said that he would sell the car for € 6,600. The car is sold because the owner, carpenter, has reduced his company and the car no longer needs (he also has a bus). According to his information, the service was done regularly with the car and at the last service the brake discs and tooth belts changed. Well, what do you think is the price o.k.? (Living in Österr. and cars are here definitely more expensive than in D) What should I look at the forum? I would not like to ask for a car review?

Hello, with my XC90 3.2 there are recently misignitions. I get as error in BC the display slowly driving or up. After the vehicle was in emergency run I brought it into the workshop. here as error the misignition on cylinder 3, 4, 5, 6 occurred. It was checked compression, fuel and everything necessary like cabling etc.. However the error did not reproduce. After I drove now another 50km the same picture misignitions, power loss BC message etc. however after restart everything with the old and again i.e. my question has now made some similar experience with this engine and an idea what it can be. Ignition coils can be excluded here. It must be a sensor problem or the like. Thank you all Greetings

Hello, I ask for your opinion or experience. My leasing contract expires on November 7th. Since I only have 54Tkm, I would like to buy my V70 myself. In my leasing contract it is written by the friendly, that I can buy it at the residual value + used car guarantee ( 21000 ). In my request yesterday how everything should run, they told me that I can have the car for 22000, because one wants to earn also inbian. How do you see this? What experiences do you have?

Hello, I bought a TomTom Go 700 because the leasing company where my car is leased sold to me at a preferential price. Except for the unsettled assembly the thing works amazingly well! One thing, however, came to me angry. I had a failure in a tunnel in Prague because of lack of satellite contact, and I was able to get past an exit, because like the devil the exit was so close after the tunnel end that the system did not get fast enough connection. Now a question to the users of the RTI system: I heard once that manufacturer-specific systems are connected to the Tacho, and so this problem only appears after a long journey without satellite contact. Would be grateful here for clarification. Greetings from Prague.

Volvo has sent me today an Inscription brochure together with a price list for XC90. But I like the shape of the seats in the S60/V70 better than the ones in the XC90 and also the respective color combinations are, at least on the pictures of the brochure, not so necessarily my case. Unfortunately, you can not visit an Inscription in Natura with the dealer yet – therefore I have a few questions to those who already have Inscription or have seen: 1.) Is it actually “sports seats” as described in the brochure? Do you sit better in it and with more side support than in the “normal” XC90 seats? 2.) Is the seat heating also in the upper part of the backrest or only in the lower part, as with the Executive? 3.) Has someone ever measured the length of the seat area? The seats in my nearly 3 years old XC90 are about 51.5 cm long – Volvo has the seat length from model year 2005 on allegedly shortened by 1 cm!

… I have been driving the V70 for quite exactly 2 years now and during this period I have certainly changed 10 – 12 light bulbs quite roughly. So in the long run this can go quite well into the money … well, even more annoying but the handling when changing the rear lamps. Only last week it was once again so far and I had to change an incandescent lamp for the brake light: After saying and writing 30 minutes and countless bloody scratches on the hands it was done after all. However, the message of the BC was all the more annoying then, not 24 hours later: “Abblendlicht flawt”. What should, off to the construction market, buy a new lamp and work in the pouring rain with the head under the opened bonnet and thereby the plastic plug crumbled while pulling off well, shut down and off to the friendly … have cost these two actions of the last 24 hours (brake light, dimming light and rep. plug) once again quickly 35 EUR … … I had to get rid of it …
